Traditional Balinese Watukaru yoga is one of the oldest yoga practices in the world. It is said that thousands of years ago, 13 yogis from India (each practicing their own style of yoga) came to Bali to practice on the top of Mount Watukaru, also known as Batukaru Mountain.
The spiritual energy of Bali (the Island of the Gods) inspired the 13 yogis, who took the best of their own yoga practices and created Balinese Yoga. They gave it the name Balinese Watukaru yoga to pay tribute to the beautiful mountain they practiced together.
Beauty, grace, spirituality, and strength are some of the stunning features of traditional Balinese Watukaru yoga. It focuses on the mind and one's spiritual awakening, hence emphasizing meditation and the inner flow of energy in its practice.
Held by traditional Balinese Watukaru yoga practitioners who that believe without meditation and chanting, yoga is just an exercise / sport and the physical practice of yoga is the preparation for meditation, which helps you to silence your mind and heal your body.
